Newegg Confirms Tariffs Are to Blame for RTX 5080, 5090 GPU Price Hikes
Newegg is blaming President Trump's tariffs on Chinese imports for price hikes on Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 graphics cards. On Wednesday, customers noticed sudden price increases on the coveted GPUs across Newegg’s site.
RTX 5090 GPU prices are officially out of control — now $1,400 over Nvidia's official asking price
Compared to Nvidia's MSRP, the RTX 5090 is selling for $300 to $1,400 over asking price, while the RTX 5080 is around $140 to $500 higher at MSI and Asus stores. Currently, all of these GPUs are out of stock
Some RTX 5090 and 5080 GPUs have seriously inflated price tags, climbing as high as 70% over MSRP in the case of one Asus model
I don’t think any RTX 5090 is worth 70% more than MSRP, but that’s what you’ll pay for the priciest flagship Nvidia GPU.
Newegg blames tariffs for the high cost of RTX 5090 GPUs
NVIDIA’s RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs come at a high cost on top of being difficult to acquire due to low stock, and it seems tariffs are to blame for the increased cost. That’s according to Newegg, one of the largest online retailers in the US for computers and computer hardware.
Asus and MSI hike RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPU prices by up to 18%
Asus and MSI were among the first to increase prices in their U.S. online stores, although the GPUs are out of stock.
